Terms of Use & Privacy Policy
These terms govern your use of Beesy Bakers, In Your Note, Park FX, and any other software, websites, or services published by Stephen Jang — whether under his own name or under the YellowGrayFox brand (collectively, the “Apps”).
1. Acceptance of these terms
By downloading, installing, or using any of the Apps, you agree to be bound by this combined Terms of Use and Privacy Policy (the “Terms”). If you do not agree, do not install or use the Apps.
These Terms form a binding agreement between you and Stephen Jang, an individual sole proprietor who publishes the Apps in his own name and under the YellowGrayFox brand (“I”, “me”, “my”). For the avoidance of doubt, “YellowGrayFox” is a trade name used by Stephen Jang and is not a separate legal entity; obligations and protections in these Terms run to and from Stephen Jang personally regardless of which name appears on a particular App, store listing, or website. The Apps are independently developed and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Apple Inc., Google LLC, or any other third party whose trademarks may appear in the Apps.
2. License to use the Apps
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, I grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Apps on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use. All other rights are reserved.
The Apple App Store’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Apple EULA”) also applies to your use of the Apps as a separate agreement between you and Apple. In the event of a conflict between the Apple EULA and these Terms, the Apple EULA controls only those matters expressly addressed by it; these Terms control all other matters.
You may not: (a) copy, modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Apps except to the extent applicable law expressly permits; (b) rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the Apps; (c) remove or alter any proprietary notices; or (d) use the Apps to develop a competing product.
3. Your Apple ID and your content
The Apps do not require you to create an account with me. Purchases and restores use your Apple ID and Apple’s services. In Your Note also supports optional iCloud sync. Beesy Bakers has no developer sign-in or iCloud recipe sync; calendar data may sync through your selected calendar provider.
You own your content. Notes, recipes, text, and other content you create in the Apps belong to you. I claim no ownership of your content. The Apps store your content locally on your device. In Your Note can also store notes in your own private iCloud database if you turn on iCloud sync (see Section 5). Beesy sharing uses the services you select.
You are solely responsible for the content you create, store, or sync through the Apps, and for keeping your own backups. I cannot recover content that you lose due to device loss, deletion, iCloud account changes, or your own actions.
4. Subscriptions, one-time purchases, and billing
Some features of In Your Note require a paid subscription (marketed as “In Your Note Premium”). The following subscription terms do not apply to Beesy Pro, which is a one-time purchase. These terms are required by Apple’s App Store Review Guidelines and apply to every auto-renewing subscription offered through the Apps:
Auto-renewing subscription — please read.
- Title: In Your Note Premium.
- Length and price of subscription: Monthly — US$1.99 per month. Yearly — US$19.99 per year (price may vary by territory and is shown at the point of purchase).
- Free trial: A 7-day free trial may be offered on the yearly plan to eligible new subscribers. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, you will be charged the regular subscription price and the subscription will renew automatically.
- Auto-renewal: Your subscription automatically renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
- Managing or cancelling: You can manage your subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal at any time by going to Settings › [your name] › Subscriptions on your Apple device. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current paid period.
- Refunds: All purchases are processed by Apple. Refunds are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple’s refund policy. I cannot issue refunds directly — please contact Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
I may change subscription prices, plans, free-trial eligibility, and the set of features offered on each plan from time to time. Price changes will not apply to your current paid period; for renewals, Apple will notify you of material price increases and ask for your consent where required.
The Apps may also include one-time, non-consumable in-app purchases (for example, the legacy “Ad-Free” upgrade). One-time purchases are non-refundable except as required by law or Apple’s refund policy.
Beesy Bakers and Beesy Pro
Beesy Bakers includes the first three calendar additions free. Further additions require Beesy Pro, a US$9.99 one-time, non-consumable purchase with Family Sharing. Beesy Pro is not a subscription, does not renew, and is not an Ad-Free upgrade: Beesy has no advertising. Regional prices may vary; the price shown by the App Store at purchase applies. Purchases and restores use Apple’s StoreKit. Apple processes payments and handles refund requests under its refund policy at reportaproblem.apple.com.
Beesy Bakers requires an iPhone with iOS 26.0 or later. Optional AI recipe import and editing require a compatible Apple Intelligence iPhone, Apple Intelligence enabled, a supported language and region, and a downloaded on-device model. Manual editing works without AI. Review AI-generated recipes, ingredients, and steps before saving or using them.
5. iCloud sync
This section describes In Your Note. If you enable its iCloud sync (a Premium feature), your notes are stored in your own private iCloud database under your Apple ID, using Apple’s CloudKit service. I do not operate a server that holds copies of your notes, and I cannot read, retrieve, or restore them. Beesy Bakers does not provide CloudKit or iCloud recipe sync. Events exported by Beesy may sync through your selected calendar provider, including iCloud Calendar if you use it.
iCloud sync is provided “as available.” Sync depends on Apple’s CloudKit infrastructure, your network connection, your iCloud account status, and your available iCloud storage. Outages, account suspensions, throttling, quota errors, or schema migrations may delay or prevent sync, and in rare cases may result in data loss or conflicts. By enabling sync you accept these risks and agree to keep independent backups of any content you cannot afford to lose.
6. Advertising (free tier)
The free tier of certain Apps displays advertising provided by Google AdMob. AdMob and its advertising partners may collect a limited amount of device and usage information — such as your device’s advertising identifier (only if you grant App Tracking Transparency permission), coarse location, IP address, and ad-interaction events — to serve, measure, and improve ads. Google’s use of this data is governed by the Google Ads Privacy & Terms. Subscribing to Premium (or purchasing the legacy Ad-Free upgrade) removes ads.
This advertising disclosure applies only to ad-supported Apps and versions, such as the free tier of In Your Note. Beesy Bakers has no advertising and does not include AdMob. Beesy Pro is unrelated to these advertising products.
7. Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Apps to: (a) violate any law or third-party right; (b) upload, store, or sync content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, or harmful; (c) attempt to interfere with, disrupt, reverse-engineer, or gain unauthorized access to the Apps or to Apple’s or Google’s services; (d) use the Apps in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair them; or (e) automate or scrape the Apps. I may suspend or terminate your access to paid features if I reasonably believe you are violating these Terms.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
The Apps are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, I disclaim all warranties, including without limitation warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, uninterrupted or error-free operation, security, and that defects will be corrected.
You acknowledge that no software is free of defects and that the Apps may be temporarily unavailable, may contain bugs, and may interoperate imperfectly with third-party services such as iCloud, the App Store, or AdMob. Your use of the Apps is at your sole risk.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Stephen Jang or YellowGrayFox be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with your use of (or inability to use) the Apps, even if I have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
My total cumulative liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Apps will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid me through Apple for the App or subscription giving rise to the claim during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to liability, or (b) US$50.
These limitations apply to all claims, whether based in contract, tort, statute, or any other legal theory, and apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you; in those jurisdictions, my liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Stephen Jang and YellowGrayFox from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use or misuse of the Apps; (b) your content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or third-party right.
11. Termination and changes to the Apps
I may modify, suspend, or discontinue any App, feature, or subscription tier — in whole or in part — at any time, with or without notice. I will use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of material changes that would meaningfully reduce features you have paid for, and where required by law I will offer a pro-rated refund through Apple for the unused portion of a paid subscription period.
You may stop using the Apps at any time by deleting them from your device and cancelling any active subscription through your Apple ID settings.
12. Governing law and dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. The exclusive venue for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be the state and federal courts of competent jurisdiction located in the State of Georgia, and you and I each consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction whose mandatory consumer-protection laws grant you additional rights, nothing in this section deprives you of those rights or of the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence.
Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, you agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally by emailing me at yellowgrayfox@googlemail.com with a clear description of the issue and the resolution you are seeking, and to allow at least 30 days for a response.
13. Privacy Policy
I respect your privacy. I am a solo developer and I run the Apps with as little data collection as I can.
September 14, 2026 update: This policy now includes Beesy Bakers and distinguishes its on-device recipes, default-enabled analytics and opt-out, and one-time purchase from other Apps’ iCloud, advertising, and crash-reporting features. Read the Beesy Bakers details and analytics controls.
Information you provide
You do not need to create an account with me to use the Apps. The Apps do not ask you to provide your name, email address, phone number, or payment details to me. If you email me for support, I receive the email address and information you choose to include. App-specific device data and permissions are described below.
Information processed locally on your device
Your notes, recipes, preferences, and other content you create are stored locally on your device. In Your Note can also store notes in your own private iCloud database under your Apple ID if you enable iCloud sync; I have no access to that database. Beesy does not offer recipe sync. Its calendar export, sharing, and recipe URL import are described below.
Information collected automatically
Third-party services vary by App and version. The following disclosures apply only where the service is included; the Beesy-specific section below explains its use of Analytics and its exclusions:
- Apple App Store & StoreKit — Apple processes purchases, subscriptions, free trials, and refunds. The Apps use transaction and entitlement information to verify purchases and restores; Apple also provides sales reports. I do not receive your payment card details. Beesy Pro uses a one-time purchase, not a subscription. See Apple’s privacy policy.
- Apple CloudKit (iCloud) — if you enable In Your Note’s iCloud sync, Apple stores your notes in your own private iCloud database. This is not a Beesy recipe-sync feature. Governed by Apple’s privacy policy.
- Google Firebase — Apps and versions that include crash reporting, such as Park FX, use it to help diagnose bugs. Apps that include Firebase Analytics use it to understand usage and prioritize improvements. Depending on the included service, Firebase may process device model, OS version, app version, language, country, app-event timestamps, and a randomly generated installation or app-instance identifier. These identifiers are not a guarantee of anonymity. Beesy uses Firebase Analytics only, not Firebase Crashlytics or other Firebase crash reporting. Its data and controls are detailed below. See the Firebase Privacy Information.
- Google AdMob — only in ad-supported Apps and versions, such as In Your Note’s free tier, AdMob serves advertising and may process your device’s advertising identifier (only if you grant App Tracking Transparency permission), coarse location, IP address, and ad-interaction events. See Google Ads Privacy & Terms. Subscribers to the ad-supported App’s Premium plan do not see ads, and AdMob is not loaded for them. Beesy does not include AdMob or advertising.
Beesy Bakers: privacy and analytics controls
On-device content, no developer account. Beesy stores recipes and preferences on your device, without a developer account or sign-in. It does not provide CloudKit or iCloud recipe sync. Calendar access is used to help fit your bake around your plans and export events you choose to add. By default, an export is one event for the whole bake, marked Free where the calendar supports it, with the timed flow in its notes; separate step events are optional. Those events may sync through your selected calendar provider. Recipe sharing uses the services you choose.
Optional on-device AI and recipe imports. AI recipe import and editing use Apple’s on-device Foundation Models on compatible Apple Intelligence iPhones. The model must be downloaded and Apple Intelligence enabled in a supported language and region. Manual editing works without AI, and AI output is reviewed before saving. Importing from a recipe URL fetches the user-requested source website, which receives a network request and may process it under its own privacy policy. Beesy does not send recipe text, ingredients, calendar details, or AI prompts to Firebase.
Usage analytics is enabled by default. Beesy includes Firebase Analytics (Analytics Core only) to understand product interactions and usage and purchase statistics. Google processes a random app-instance identifier, device/OS/app details, event information, and approximate location derived from masked IP addresses. Beesy does not associate a name, email address, or account ID with these events. This is data collection, not a promise that every event is intrinsically anonymous. The App Store privacy disclosure identifies Device ID, Coarse Location, Product Interaction, and Purchase History as Not Linked to You, used for Analytics only, with no tracking.
Turn it off: In Beesy, open Settings > Privacy > Usage analytics. This choice persists. Disabling analytics stops future collection and resets locally stored Analytics data. It does not erase data already received by Google, and is not a request for immediate server-side deletion.
No advertising or crash-reporting SDK. Beesy has no ads, no AdMob, and no Firebase Crashlytics. IDFA and IDFV collection are disabled, advertising consent and personalization are denied, and automatic screen reporting is disabled so recipe and navigation titles are not included as screen-reporting payloads. Beesy does not implement ad tracking, data-broker sales, or joining these events to your identity.
Google’s processing is described in Firebase Privacy Information and the Google Privacy Policy. For Beesy privacy questions or requests, contact info@yellowgrayfox.com.
What I do not do
- I do not sell your personal information.
- I do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
- I do not read, scan, index, or train any model on your notes.
- I do not operate a server that stores copies of your notes.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the EU/UK GDPR or the California CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. Because I hold almost no personal information about you, most of these rights are exercised by managing your device, your Apple ID, or your Google account directly. For anything else, email me at yellowgrayfox@googlemail.com and I will respond within 30 days.
Data retention
I keep data only as long as needed for the purpose I collected it, and then I delete or anonymize it. Firebase Analytics data is retained according to the applicable Google service settings and retention policies. Turning off Beesy analytics stops future collection and resets local Analytics data; it does not delete information Google already received. Contact me about applicable access or deletion rights.
International transfers
Apple and Google operate globally; data they process on my behalf may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries. Apple and Google maintain their own safeguards for international transfers (such as Standard Contractual Clauses).
14. Children’s privacy
The Apps are not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided me with personal information, please contact me and I will delete it.
15. Changes to these terms
I may update these Terms from time to time. When I do, I will revise the “Effective date” at the top of this page. Material changes to the Privacy Policy will be highlighted in the App or on this page in advance of taking effect, where reasonably practicable. Your continued use of the Apps after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
